Dublin City & County Maps - 1837/48/63/85 + 1904 Street Index

[Oaks and Acorns]

......... I wonder when this tradition of these nick-names for statues & landmarks in Dublin started ...........?

Earliest one that comes to mind is the Pepper Cannister church.

Fantastic maps. Thanks Shane.

I've scanned and converted another Dublin map and added the link to the Dublin resources section - titled 'The Environs of Dublin' and dated 1837. This covers city and part of the county. (approx. from Loughlinstown in the south to Swords, and west as far as Johnstown, Leixlip & Black Bull)

Thanks again for these Shane! I will be checking them again when the 1901 census appears on line, and I can hopefully solve some problems.

i am just browsing through Pat Liddy's  " Dublin " a Celebration and there is a map of Dublin in the 1760s (pages 56/57 ). the places we lived in were there at that time.

 the only bridge across the Liffey was Essex Brigde (Grattan Bridge ) end of Capel Street.   there were ferries dotted along to to ferry you across.

the 1798 Dublin map recently posted by MAPCo (see the Dublin Resources section) show that just 30 years later there were at least 5 bridges over the Liffey

see the map at : http://dublin1798.com/

Hi Shane

     thanks for all the great work your doing here  i was wondering if you could spread some light  on the location and possibly of a map   to the township cottages    of Rathmines and rathgar east, east ward. St peters parish  around 1901 -04   
  i have tried  your  link  posted for the 1904 street index but it came up error
any help greatly appreciated
   kind  regards

the 1904 street index does not show Township cottages - but it only includes the city area. I'll check what I have map-wise but most of the details I have are for the city area and just miss Ranelagh/Rathmines etc

did I just see a post from you on Dublin.ie ?

I'm checking Thom's '04 etc at the moment to see if I can work out the location of Township cottages

I fairly sure now that the 1901 census address of 'Township Cottages' in the Rathmines & Rathgar DED, refers to Gulistan Cottages off Belgrave square. See the post on the Dublin forum for details..
